Every guy in these pics "come on lady it's just a photo" Every lady in these photos "don't freaking touch me"
oxymorin
Was one of the girls Allie Brie?
Martinelli92
"No honey, I didn't even touch her"
TravelerOfBothTimeAndSpace
Her leg is around him and he's scared to touch her back??

That and the prom date. Those were my two favorites right there.

Can't tell if Chris Jericho or Sugar Ray.
dhiecakd
Jericho or Kiefer Sutherland got jacked for an upcoming role.
loafroaster
Jericho. Fozzy pics in background.
Wintermute1v1
No way, those tips aren't frosted enough to be sugar Ray.

In south korea this is known as "manner hands" https://www.dramafever.com/news/10-korean-stars-with-impeccable-manner-hands/
kukbert
Lol Manner legs was way funnier!
Quelquefois
To get to my level, guys would have to employ manner splits...
cheesybirdmess
They don't want to get charged with sexual assault
MosesJackson
I am 99% sure no woman wants my hand on her anywhere, and that includes my wife
TzarCowski
Are half of these guys hoverhanding their dates?
ilovebacon3
I wonder if most of these are just taken mid embrace. Not the Wil one though, he knows she's not clean.
ZiggySolo
Halfway through this I got really scared it was a Cera post and had to scroll back up to check OPs name.
LurkerGuy9000
Me too!!
Copperbrat
So this is apparently a thing. I was told it was because the con folks ask to not be touched while posing with fans. Whats the real story?
FrostFox22
Yeah, that's not the reason because it's not a part of con culture. It's a part of shy-male culture. Speaking as someone who has done it
Copperbrat
Gotcha. Thanks.
AnimeBarbie
Per the actors requests is also a reason. Trust me. Shy boys are big too. They're both reasons. :)
AnimeBarbie
That can be a factor. A good friend of mine works as a VO for Gearbox and got a very nasty virus from a kid at a convention, --
Copperbrat
Eek. I'm not exactly a germophobe, but I think I might become one if I had to be in close contact with the public.
AnimeBarbie
-- and literally almost died. I have many friends who do VO and make con apperances; some don't mind being touched while others--
AnimeBarbie
-- request to only have pictures taken infront of the autograph table as to not to be touched. It's basically to prevent sickness.
GarbageHotPocket
That.....is........incredibly.......annoying!!!!
ButcherMatt
I have an unimportant announcement: #5 is probably ironic hover hand because hover handing Jessica Nigri has become a meme of sorts.
AmbiguousGardens
I was going to ask why guys did this. Then I saw the one with Sarah underwood. Now I understand
RenIsTired
If they are touching you, you can touch them, don't be weird about it.
flipflopfeeling
If they're posing with you, you're likely acquainted enough to go for a calm hand on the shoulder or waist. Don't fear, just be relaxed.
Nibbets
jriley4800
I was almost certain it was gonna be cera. He's ruined me.
Urmomfails
I feel bad for #4. That's Sara Jean Underwood
Fistouille
Why pose together if you can't even place a hand on the shoulder? It's just friendly
KareBexar
I think it respectful. I appreciate the hover when you're not close with some one.
MissSpelledTattoo
Hover vote
TheWalkingAlive
Well thanks fucker
1dp1
Protip: Avoid hover hands by curling your fingers and extending your thumb to form a behind the back thumbs up.
JonRedcorn862
Lmao
kal1097
Or just put your hand on her shoulder(or where ever is appropriate)
ArchSchnitz
I think people fail to realize that many males now are taught not to touch a woman without express consent . Especially "undesirable" males.
bexyrex
haha honestly when i first started dating the bf this was a point of contention he was so hesitant to touch me unless i was very insistent 1
bexyrex
Eventually i got it thru to him that he can touch me without my express verbal permisson every time. But it was actually kinda endearing 2
bexyrex
how cautious he was with me. <3 3/3
championofbreakfasts
Most of these look like they're doing it on purpose as a joke.
JSteede
Agreed, I'm fairly sure the Jessica Nigri one is, as she often poses like that with fans.
ACslater88
You know, I've never really understood this... You're so close, bro, just touch her - it's for a picture.
blackwidowsideboob
Dorito crumbs bruh, people hate Dorito stains on their shit.
Zardif
Low esteem in that no woman would want them to actually touch her. Or their hands are sweaty and gross and you don't want to gross her out.
HodgepodgeFoxe
They have sticky hands and don't want to spread the stickiness.
subtlemrs
Yeah just put your hand on her shoulder, damn.
TheseGoToEleven
You don't even have to. Chill & put that badboy behind your head or in the pocket if you must, but if you go for the touch then just do it.
Imjustsupposedtolook
I just want to believe the picture(s) was taken before the pose was made and therefore the hand is a hover! At the very least most are,
CameraRick
I always ask people "can I hug you like we'd be friends?", that makes it more awkward but everybody laughs and I have some nice images.
Shellbear3000
Exactly!!!
BlueBomber05
As a borderline autist I don't like touching strangers or strangers touching me, even if it is a hot girl. It's such a fake gesture and 1/2
chrishallett83
"borderline"? Keep telling yourself that, bud.
AlwaysDownvoteDots
as a normal guy I tend to enjoy human contact, especially with attractive women, so I love getting into posed photos =)
BlueBomber05
k
BlueBomber05
I have to act as if I like it because there is no way to tell a girl not to touch you without looking like an asshole 2/2
tankdog420
Borderline autist? Gtfo
BlueBomber05
?
DVSBSTrD
If she's touching you, you can touch her. Just don't grope her boobs or butt.
PossiblyHitler
YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!
patotheduck
Why not both?
DVSBSTrD
If you're brave enough.
nowitsshowtime
except if she gropes your boob or butt
DVSBSTrD
Obviously.

One word...virgin. Virgin me did this a lot. Cringe-worthy memories.
Imjustsupposedtolook
Virgin me surprisingly made sure I had my hands full as I was kinda horny a lot & the sensation of someone else's warm body was intoxicating
chaotikmethodz
Xist3nce
I was too young when virgin me to have many of these opportunities to be creepy, but normal me did this when dating a psychopath.
Imjustsupposedtolook
... I just cringed at my own creepiness, dear lord I'm out for now. I must repent or some shit!
bexyrex
....that's not creepy at all. No sireeee!
Imjustsupposedtolook
sarcasm? Sarcasm!
warick
Is that Will Weaton hover handing? What a hitch.
hiccupuppy
And Jaime Lynn Spears in the first one
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
Isn't that Carrie Jean Underwood that he's hoverhanding?
jackandpepsi
Sara Jean Underwood. And yes.
wwcasedo
Shut up Wil
DeepwaterJew
Wil
lunarpastry
No, it was Hwill Hweaton
Arrrrgggggghhhh
Yes, and I'm sure he is doing it as a joke.
ILoveCuteThings
No, he's a germaphobe. He doesn't like shaking hands either. If you ever see him at a convention, you'll see exactly that.
TheCapnJoe
You'll also see him refuse to talk to you and communicate through his handler while he interrupts your conversation with an exhibitor.
Garbledinawastaken
I find myself in total agreement with Wheaton on the fist bump thing.
pineapplepunch
I have seen him at pax a bunch and I've never seen that but come on that's the legendary Sara Jean underwood I'd get nervous.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
I'm assuming you meant bitch. in which case
Mavgurian
Honestly - when the reruns brought him/Wesley up to the same age as me I was a bit into him. (He is 7y my senior)
warick
Yes, my new device doesn't know me very well.
ChuckKarma
It's hard to believe today, but there was a time before Frakes bestowed upon him a large portion of his swagger.
scurve
He has no swagger and might never. Even the mighty Frakes can not save everyone.
SuperFireCrotch
Whill Wheaton?
Arrrrgggggghhhh
Wheaton! *shakes fist*
warick
Hwil hweaton. And *bitch. My new device doesn't know me very well.

IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
As a girl, its just a picture, its fine to put your arm around someone just keep it to the waist or shoulders. Never lower back or hips.
Voldlordemort
What's a girl
ringmidgets
So on the butt, check.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Nailed it.
clutchthepearls
By lower back do you mean butt? Waist and lower back are pretty much the same latitude.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Waist its between the ribs and hips. Lower back is above the butt but its is an intimate spot for boyfriends or close friends only.
superskin
I would say my lower back is anywhere lower than my waist
clutchthepearls
I feel like my ass starts right below my hip bone and my hip bone is the end of my waist. *shrugs*
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Your ass has butt cheek. Any thing above that to your ribs is lower back
blackwidowsideboob
Interesting, lower back it all the time, good info here.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Its more something I'd expect from a boyfriend, to put his hand on the small of my back.
ioscius
info, don't make it good info...
Elerich
why not lower back? is that representative of something more intimate?
blakin
I think I've been doing it wrong all along :/ I normal just place my hand in between rib cage and hip? Please don't tell me that's creepy..?
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Between the ribcage and hip bone on the side is fine, its the normal spot. Dont squeeze your fingers, keep them light. The small of the back
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
I.e the curve of the spine below the ribs and above the hips is an intimate spot for a girl. Hips is also too intimate for a stranger. So
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
If you are a stranger a safe place is upper back and shoulders, or side of the waist. And dont squeeze your fingers when you do it. Easy!
Elerich
thats what i've done ....I didnt know there was a code of conduct for this stuff!
blakin
I'm going to have to reevaluate my life
cyb3rsleuther
Lower back is usually the small of our backs. It's a possessive gesture, and you can control and steer from that. Just more personal
Mavgurian
Possessive, control, steer ... huh?!
cyb3rsleuther
It's a possessive hold. You could easily push or turn a girl if you got a grip on her lower back.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Yes and girls are typically ushered using the small of their back.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Same with neck as its ownership.
cyb3rsleuther
Yeah. Silently shows everyone else in the room that that person belongs to you
Jmcpappy

AtlasUnbound
To be fair, he wasn't expecting any of that to happen.
